 What’s Involved in Treatment?

3. Cognitive Therapy

• Interpretation of the intrusive thought

contributes to anxiety.

• CT helps distance and manage anxiety by

challenging these thoughts.

• What are the chances that if I touch the door handle I will get

sick?

• How many people have touched the door before & not gotten

sick?

• If people could get sick from touching the door handle, then

why are more people not afraid of touching the door handle?

 What’s Involved in Treatment?

3. Exposure and Response Prevention

• Exposure- confronting the images, objects &

situations that make someone anxious.

• Response Prevention- resisting urge to do

the compulsive behaviour.

 What’s Involved in Treatment?

• Initial increase in anxiety will be expected.

• Usually ERP will be done in a graded/gradual

manner.

Family Involvement

• OCD can affect the entire family & often cause stress to

relationships.

• Families often unintentionally help OCD behaviours

through:

• Participation in rituals and reassurance.

•  Assisting in avoidance.

•  Accommodating the OCD behaviours.

OCD in Adolescent & Children

Evidence suggests that CBT is also effective in treating children &

adolescents with OCD (Abramowitz, Whiteside & Deacon, 2005).

• Treatment needs to be adjusted to be developmentally appropriate.

• Family involvement is more critical.
